Core Viewpoint - The insurance industry is facing significant challenges due to the decline in LPR and bank deposit rates, necessitating a shift from a "spread-dependent" model to a "three-spread balance" approach to mitigate interest spread loss risks [1][2][3] Group 1: Interest Rate Impact - The decline in interest rates is a critical factor affecting the insurance industry, particularly life insurance, as it compresses new investment income [1] - The upper limit of the preset interest rate for ordinary life insurance products has decreased from 4.025% to 2.5%, with a substantial number of high preset rate policies still in force [1] - The insurance industry must prevent interest spread loss risks to maintain operational stability and avoid systemic risks [1] Group 2: Three-Spread Balance Model - The key to risk management in the new market environment is constructing a "three-spread balance" profit model, focusing on interest spread, mortality spread, and expense spread [2] - Insurers need to transition from high-guarantee products to "low-guarantee + high-floating" products to stabilize interest spreads [2] - Dynamic pricing mechanisms linked to government bond yields or LPR should be introduced to mitigate cost-locking risks [2] Group 3: Enhancing Mortality and Expense Spreads - Increasing contributions from mortality and expense spreads is essential for insurers in a low-interest-rate environment [3] - Insurers should enhance the sales of health and term life insurance products and optimize pricing assumptions using more accurate mortality and annuity tables [3] - Cost control measures must be strictly implemented, including organizational optimization and digital transformation to reduce operational costs [3] Group 4: Opportunities in Challenges - The low-interest-rate environment presents both challenges and opportunities for insurers to reshape competitive advantages [3] - Insurers must abandon the "scale-first" development model and focus on product innovation, asset allocation optimization, and expense management to achieve sustainable development [3]

"降准降息落地！2.5%，进入倒计时！""警惕！保险市场或现重大调整"……5月12日，北京商报记者注意到，保险业预定利率或再度调降这一"情绪"正在保 险业中蔓延。根据中国人民银行日前更新的常备借贷便利利率表，将各期限常备借贷便利利率下调10个基点，自2025年5月8日起执行。此次降息与5月15日 执行的0.5个百分点全面降准形成政策组合拳。 今年4月21日，中国保险行业协会（以下简称"保险业协会"）组织召开人身保险业责任准备金评估利率专家咨询委员会2025年一季度例会。保险业专家认 为，当前普通型人身保险产品预定利率研究值为2.13%。 据了解，这是今年初监管推出"预定利率挂钩市场利率"机制后，首次公布研究值。今年初，《关于建立预定利率与市场利率挂钩及动态调整机制有关事项的 通知》重磅发布。其中提到，要建立预定利率与市场利率挂钩及动态调整机制，引导公司强化资产负债联动，科学审慎定价。 进一步来看，最新普通型人身险预定利率研究值2.13%，已较前值下降21个基点。根据触发条件，当保险公司在售普通型人身保险产品预定利率最高值连续 2个季度比预定利率研究值高25个基点及以上时，要及时下调新产品预定利率最高值，并在2 ...

Core Viewpoint - The performance of five A-share listed insurance companies in the first quarter of 2025 shows two main keywords: differentiation and volatility [1][2]. Performance Analysis - All five listed insurance companies reported growth in insurance service revenue, with an overall increase of 3.6%. The total net profit attributable to shareholders reached 841.76 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.4% [2][4]. - Profit growth rates varied significantly among companies, with one company experiencing a 40% increase, while two others reported a decline in net profit. Additionally, two companies saw a decrease in net assets [2][4]. - The volatility in profits and net assets is exacerbated by the new accounting standards implemented in 2023, which have intensified the impact of market fluctuations on insurance companies' financials [2][6]. Profitability Differentiation - On the liability side, listed insurance companies achieved stable growth. In Q1 2025, the total insurance service revenue was 4,098.71 billion yuan, a 3.6% year-on-year increase. China Pacific Insurance and New China Life reported net profit declines of 26.4% and 18.1%, respectively [4][6]. - China Life's net profit growth is attributed to significant improvements in insurance service performance, which offset the negative impact from investments [5][6]. - The fluctuation in net profit is largely influenced by the fair value changes of trading financial assets, with China Ping An reporting a loss of 21.80 billion yuan in fair value changes, compared to a gain of 34.49 billion yuan in the same period last year [6][9]. Net Asset Volatility - Some insurance companies also experienced fluctuations in net assets.

刚送别2024"最强盈利年"，五家A股上市险企2025年首季业绩呈现出两大关键词：分化+波动。 根据上市险企一季报数据，五家A股上市险企保险服务收入均增长，整体增长3.6%；合计实现归母净利润841.76亿 元，同比增长1.4%。 不过，各家险企盈利增速不一，有险企高增四成，但也有2家出现净利润减少。与此同时，2家险企出现净资产下 滑。 股市和债市波动遭遇新会计准则"放大"效应，使得险企利润和净资产波动加剧——这是险企自2023年执行新会计准 则以来，持续面临的现实情况。从今年一季度看，相关挑战仍在继续。在利率和股市快速变动的市场环境下，险企 资产负债匹配待进一步优化。 盈利业绩分化 财报显示，中国人寿一季度保险服务收入基本持平，但保险服务费用同比减少134.38亿元。华泰证券非银分析师李 健分析，中国人寿保险服务业绩快速修复，同比增长129%至255亿元，或与健康险赔付率改善以及利率上行对分红 险CSM（合同服务边际，代表寿险准备金当中尚未实现的未来利润）释放带来扰动有关。 总体来看，净利润下降的险企中，交易性金融资产公允价值变动对险企净利润表现影响较大。此外，中国平安还受 到并表导致的一次性短期影响，中国 ...
